Yesterday morning I had a tissue graft on two of my teeth. They basically slit holes in my palate, removed tissue, and transplanted it to two of my teeth. It hurts like a bear. I was on some pretty potent pain meds but they made me barf (that was fun) so I have cut back to advil, which is not helping much. Wah.

We had a really busy weekend planned, with two soccer games, a school carnival, and an air show we wanted to get to. Not sure how much of the fun I'm going to make. On the up side, I got to lay in bed all day yesterday (I was asleep for most of it) - that never happens!!

There is nothing worse than oral surgery! I hope it feels better soon. I once told my dentist that I was having a screw put through my big toe the next day and I was looking more forward to that than the cavity he was going to fill!

No, not allowed to stay in bed longer. But I did not do much the first few days. I'm still full of stitches until Thursday but the swelling is gone and the pain is much better. Thanks for the sympathy!
